A small family with a rather shabby appearance—yes, this was the first impression the two had of the Shuifu in front of them.
They stood outside the door for a while, feeling that there was no sound, no one and nothing, only a faint wave came faintly, and there was no malice.
After that, the two opened the door and stepped in. The space inside is not too big, it was about a courtyard with two entrances in ancient times.
Gu Yu looked up first, and saw a blue orb the size of a football hanging above his head. The orb exudes spiritual fluctuations, forming a protective film that blocks the seawater with strong pressure, making this place as dry as land.
However, the state of the orb is very bad, flickering and dimming, obviously insufficient support.
Xiao Zhai jumped up, stopped by the side, poked it with his fingertips, jumped down and said, "It should be water-avoiding beads, which can automatically replenish spiritual energy. This Guxiu won't be too old, otherwise he won't wait for the orbs to be consumed." Clean, the water mansion will collapse."
"The most recent must be the Ming Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty didn't produce any high-level people at all."
Gu Yu waved his hand and sent a wave of spiritual power, the orb was replenished with pure energy, and immediately flickered several times, it seemed to be much more stable.
Then, the two checked in the front yard.
There are two main rooms, a quiet room and a study room. There are futons and incense tables in the quiet room, and there are yellowed booklets in the study, as well as tea cups and wine sets. Most unexpectedly, there was also a bronze mirror and a dressing box on the table, containing pearl hairpin jewelry and rouge gouache that had already deteriorated.
"Yo, she's still a nun!"
Xiao Zhai suddenly became interested, rummaged through it, and took out a few jars from the warehouse on the west side. She slapped open the seal, twisted out some fine powder, and wondered: "What is this?"
Gu Yu sniffed it, and found a faint musty smell with a plant-sweet fragrance. He also twisted a little bit and placed it in his palm to study it. He was not sure: "There are pollen and stone powder here, which may be used to make rouge."
"Rouge? Hehe, it seems that this senior is not only a female cultivator, but also a female cultivator who likes to dress up. Let's go and take a look in the backyard."
The front yard is not big, the east side is the kitchen, and there is nothing there. The two stepped into the backyard, the space was obviously spacious, and there were traces of planting flowers and plants on the ground, which had withered and withered for many years.
There are still warehouses on the east and west sides, with nearly a hundred jars, all of which are raw materials of plants, trees, gold and stones. After checking these, the two looked at each other and pushed away the front house.
"Squeak!"
"ah!"
The sound of the door opening and the sound of exclamation sounded together, and the two of them stamped their feet in unison. Here is a alchemy room, with a small furnace on the left and right, but a woman is sitting in the middle.
This woman is wearing a goose yellow dress, with a cloud-like bun, and a green jade hairpin on it. Her muscles are like creamy fat, her breath is like orchids, and her appearance is even more beautiful.
She closed her eyes and was in a state of meditation, just facing the door.
"The bright pearl shines brightly, the beautiful jade shines brightly, what a beautiful young lady!"
Xiao Zhai was stunned for a long time before he stepped forward to take a closer look, and found that although she was alive, she had no breath and had already passed away, so he said: "This is the body left behind by the Yang God?"
"Not like."
Gu Yu lightly touched the back of her hand, the skin was smooth and elastic, no different from a stranger, and said in amazement: "The essence of her flesh and blood has dissipated, and only this skin and shell are left. Some kind of secret medicine should be used. Even if her appearance does not change, she really is a beauty lover... Hey, she has jade slips in her arms!"
"oh?"
Xiao Zhai bent down, carefully pulled out a jade slip from his bosom, and inserted his spiritual consciousness into it.
…
As expected by the two of them, this female cultivator is indeed not a wealthy family.
Her real name is Shen Hezi, she is a fairyland, and she became enlightened in the Wanli period, even later than Wu Shan.
At that time, the Central Plains was full of wars, and her aura was completely weakened. She simply went to sea to escape, one is to seek a peaceful place, and the other is to find the legacy of her teacher.
Her master is a wandering Taoist, a branch of Fang Xiandao. Fang Xiandao flourished in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and then declined rapidly, with few successors.
If Shen Hezi's lineage is traced upwards, he can barely belong to Yin Changsheng's sect. Yin Changsheng was a famous monk in the Han Dynasty, his master was Ma Mingsheng, and Ma Mingsheng's master was An Qisheng.
In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, there were sects that the earth immortals relied on, and most of them were led by the ancestors to ascend. Those who don't have it, or those who don't have the qualifications, can only escape from the world and struggle to survive. Shen Hezi is one of them.
She went out to sea to search for immortals, but found nothing. She drifted to the area of Dongying Sea, and encountered a group of sperm whales. At that time, she was also disheartened, so she opened a cave here.
Fang Xiandao's specialty is refining outer alchemy. Shen Hezi has some skills, planting exotic flowers and herbs in the water mansion, raising whales, and regularly taking ambergris for alchemy.
And the bearded sperm whale is one of the offspring.
The lifespan of a human immortal is three hundred years, and she attained the Tao in Wanli, and it is conservatively estimated that she can live to the end of the Qing Dynasty. She can be regarded as the most recent ancient cultivator. Shen Hezi's youth is just right, and he likes to dress up in red makeup on weekdays. He doesn't want to wither after death, so he takes secret medicine to keep his body from decaying.
There are many contents in the jade slips. In addition to the self-narration of his life, he also records what he has learned throughout his life. The two took a rough look, and they roughly divided it into three parts: "Dan Jing", "Water Method", and "Yin Gui".
"well… "
Xiao Zhai couldn't help feeling disappointed, and sighed: "It's a pity that sister, if I live to this day, I really want to make friends."
Gu Yu was another focus of attention, asking: "What should we do now? Shall we... burn her?"
"Hey, you weren't such a straight man before?"
Xiao Zhai gave him a blank look, and said admonishingly, "She loves herself so much, and even left you the exercises, you actually want to burn her?"
"Then it can't be offered, it's a bit panicky."
Gu Yu glanced at the fleshy shell, it was extremely beautiful, but it was dead after all.
"Leave it alone, wait until we figure out a way."
Xiaozhai turned around again, seeing that there was nothing else, he said: "This time, I will gain a lot. I think the water-avoiding beads are the best. Yujian said that the water mansion used to occupy a large area, and it seems that the spiritual power is constantly being consumed. , it gradually shrank. We can make up for it, and we can completely re-open up a space."
"There is no owner here, and if you occupy it, you will occupy it. It happens to be an underwater Beppu."
Gu Yu thought for a while, and added: "When I wandered around the Yellow Sea, I saw the changes in the seabed. There are already spiritual mines, and the area is far larger than Tianzhu Mountain. In recent years, countries have been busy with internal strife and have no time to look outside. When the global environment is stable and the system Reconstruction, it is estimated that we will have to free up our hands to enter the ocean. The "Water Law" contains the method of domesticating sea beasts, first find a few to guard the house, and initially consolidate it, so that we will not lose the wind."
"The plan is good, but the transportation is not very convenient. There is only one shuttle boat, and you have to control it yourself. It will be a big trouble to send disciples in the future."
Xiao Zhai thought carefully, and said: "If you drive a shuttle boat and go all out, it will take a day and a night to get here. If we want to open up the sea, we can only shorten the distance as much as possible. Why don't we find a springboard first."
"springboard?"
Gu Yu pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered a small island that he had noticed before, and said: "In the northwest of Dongyun City, in the middle of the Bohai Sea, there is a volcanic island. It used to be a snake research center, but now snakes and insects are raging, and no one dares to enter. And three sides There is a cliff, but there is a pebble beach in the southeast corner, which is a good place for big boats."
"Okay, I'll look for other islands, and I'll take the one that suits me. This place is really good, we have to make good use of it."
Hiss!
Seeing her excited look, Lao Gu suddenly felt something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, don't you want to live in the Water Mansion permanently in the future?"
"What happened to the permanent residence?"
"This is separation!"
"What happened to the separation?"
Xiao Zhai was puzzled, and wondered: "When I become an immortal, I can go up and down hundreds of miles in a minute, and I will see you as soon as I say I see you. Why are you always clinging to me?"
MMP!
In an instant, Lao Gu felt a sad feeling of being eaten up, ruthlessly kicked away, "No, didn't you say you were going to have a baby? You went to live outside, what will happen to the baby?"
"Our children, the beginning is the end, you ask me what should I do?"
Xiao Zhai saw his depressed face, as if he had eaten a piece of feces-flavored chocolate, wanted to vomit but couldn't vomit, and said with a smile: "Okay, I just wandered on the sea for so long, and suddenly found that I like the ocean, I will talk about it later, later Say it again."
…
The two cleaned the water mansion and lived there for several days.
They sorted out the contents of the jade slips and got a pleasant surprise. Fang Xiandao deserves to be based on Wai Dan. A distant relative like Shen Hezi is amazing in everything he has learned.
Twenty-four pills are recorded in the "Dan Jing", ranging from acquired to immortal, from auxiliary to healing. And the most special one is the Nourishing Pill that she refined by herself.
Beauty is indeed the biggest motivation.
Ordinary people eat this kind of beauty pill, and when they are sixty or seventy years old, their appearance will not be old, their skin will be like a youth, and their gray hair will not grow. Acquired, congenital, and immortals eat it, and when their lifespan is about to end, they can stay young forever and die beautifully.
In short, for certain groups of people, it is a big killer!
"Water Law" records sixteen kinds of water system Taoism, plus the domestication method of sea beasts.
Although Gu Yu has realized the five elements of Taoism, he has not expanded much. These sixteen kinds of Taoism are all passed down from ancient times. The small ones are small streams, and the big ones are huge waves, just like the Dragon King.
In fact, he is more concerned about "The Ghost".
When he first explored Lushan, Baiyun was born with Yin Talisman Order, which can drive ghosts to do things. He was very curious at that time, and now that he has obtained the method of ghosts, he naturally wants to study it.
This method is called "Youxu Yuhunshu", which can summon wandering ghosts within a certain range to obey orders.
As mentioned earlier, after death, the soul will exist for seven days. After seven days, it disappears and disperses, and merges with other souls to form new people, animals, or plants, trees, gold and stones.
The souls that have not dissipated, or have survived by some chance, are called wandering ghosts. Ordinary people can't see it, and they have to go through specific rituals, such as soul-calling, the first seven, etc., to show up for a short time.
Bai Yunsheng's one belongs to the talisman system, and this one belongs to Taoism, but the nature is similar.
The reason why Gu Yu is interested is based on the space where ghosts exist.
Because the universe is divided into four worlds, the lowest level is the material world where people live, and the upper level is the realm of spirit and soul. He wanted to explore whether there was any connection between the space of ghosts and this spirit realm.
